I tried to open a new topic but, as I am a fresh user, I can't. Sorry, I can write only in english.

I come from Italy, and last year I had a trip on Romania by motorcycle. It was a fine trip, me and my wife enjoy it and problably the next year (2013) we will come again in this beautiful place. We started the trip from Italy, Slovenija and Hungary. On Romania, we made a trip from Oradea - Sibiu - Transfăgărășan - Costanta - Craiova - Arad. I knew about the road Transalpina, but I don't know yet if we can drive on it, and which direction is suggested (north - south) or the opposite.

If we will have time and money, the next trip will be in the north, any suggestion is appreciated.

Hi Joe,

First of all you must know that Transalpina officially is closed for traffic between Ranca and Obarsia Lotrului because the rehabilitation works are not finshed yet.Between Ranca and Obarsia Lotrului the road goes 30 km up to 2000 m and it is dangerous to drive because the road has no railings, signs and no road signs.If the weather it is bad the risk is even grater.

If an car accident happens is your fault not the authorities, and probably the auto insurance will not compensate you or other car because you were on a road officially closed to motor traffic.

It is true that a lot of people are driving on Transalpina road from Novaci to Sibiu or Sebes, but they are doing this on their own risk.You can find the discution in english about this problem here:viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2&start=1130

Speaking about which direction is suggested (north - south) or the opposite, I like more south-north (Novaci-Ranca-Obarsia Lotrului-Oasa Lake-Dobra-Jina-Poiana-Saliste-Sibiu) but it is beautiful also on the oposite direction.

PS:I see that you find the right topic to post your questions. What is the new topic that you want to open on this forum?

Hi,thank you for the answer. Maybe you know if there any plan to finish the road (signs, railings etc) for this summer?

I'm starting planning the trip for the summer period, I'd like to make the ring Transfăgărășan - Transalpina this year...

I would liked to open a new topic in english about what I wrote, so I tried to understand which is the right topic... I was lucky!

Hi Joe,Transalpina road should be ready in October last year, but the constructor became insolvent and the works were stopped .This year also the government has changed and it is still unclear if the new government will decide to continue the work on Transalpina road. I waited to see if they decide something in these first weeks of the year, but nothing concrete yet. They are still building the budget for this year. So unfortunately we do not have a answer yet.

PS:I renamed the name of topics also in English. You still think you should open a topic in English or it is enough like this?
